How bright are these? In full sun, will they stay lit all night? We need to keep our garden lit to deter plant predators.

They take a lot of sun for full charge. In Idaho they work satisfactorily in the Summer months. In Spring and Fall the light is reduced significantly. Winter light is poor to none. Hope that helps.

They will stay lit all night in full sun. However, I can't guarantee the light would keep critters away.

In full sun they will stay lit all night. They are not terribly bright- maybe a 3-4 ft circle of light. The equivalent of a 25 watt bulb?

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

As long as your plants are under the light you should be fine. These are very bright.

No they are not that bright. Would probably compare it to those led night light bulbs. Best guess would be around 20 to 30 lumins?

Attachment to previous message.....Take a look at the solar security lights. I purchased 4 Swiftly Done (motion activated) Bright Exterior LED Solar Powered Lights. I have them in back (wooded lot) they work really well, even on cloudy days they put out bright light.

I live in a townhome complex and there is a area to put plants. Due to the rotation of the sun, during the day, each plant receive sun light for two to three hours a day. I would not plant in a complete shaded area, but one that will allow some sun, off and on, during the day. I hope this helps.

Ive had no issues with mine not working due to rain harming wiring. I would turn them to the off position until you can get a few days of full sunshine, then turn them back to the on position. This will get the battery a good full charge. I think they will be fine once you do that. So basically to answer ypur question, YES! They should work fine once you start getting full sun!

Sorry, wish I could help. I bought those for my grand daughter who is into rock collecting. The ones I got are very nice, and they may look good as sun catchers, but we have not held them up to the light nor a window.

We placed them on our Rain Tree in the early spring when there were no leaves. We placed them more along the outer edges of the tree. They stayed lit all season. No problem. They took a few days to completely unfold. Well made.

I didn't get them for that problem. But, I think they do because the little plants which were being eaten in the front yard no longer seem to be as cut up. Each light covers a very wide -- I think about 50 feet -- area, so I'd get one and try it.

I'm not sure about in actual sunlight, but they're pretty bright. Brighter than I expected. You know when you first crack a really good glow stick? Like that

I have had my lights for about a year now. So far I have had no trouble with them. My lights are not exposed to the elements as they are under a tonneau cover.The led lights are bright enough to light up the entire bed at night. My lights are connected to a pre wired switch on my console. Hope this helps you.

The fact they are LED they will not draw as much electricity as a luminescent. With fresh batteries I have had the lights on for 4 hours. The next time I used them for two hours with no dimness of the lights.

Yes they are. I have them on my tree. They won't stay on all night. Maybe on for 5 hours depending on much sun they get.

I honestly think you will be okay, they are not as bright as I thought they would be. I have the 24" on a 20gal long with plants and am going to upgrade to something brighter. Hope this helps you.

My plants have been growing great! I am not growing moderate-high plants though. It's a very bright light.

Depends on the sunlight during the day. Sunny days they stay on about 8 hours, cloudy days can be much less. Also make sure the solar chips on the tops of the lights isn't covered or shaded by folage.
